[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
I have been seeing a pretty good amount of posts lately about how to properly calibrate your battery. This is a quick step by step guide on how to do so.

I will outline 2 ways to calibrate your battery.

The first way is using a free app from the android market (easiest IMO)

The second way is using CWM.

But first.... Some common questions.

Why would I need to calibrate my battery?

Anytime you flash a new rom it is recommended to calibrate your battery to optimize the battery life of your device.

You can calibrate your battery at anytime if you believe you should be getting better battery life.

How does it work?

When you calibrate your battery you are wiping your batterystats.bin. This allows for your operating system to create new battery stats that can drastically improve your battery life.

Using battery calibration app

First, install Battery Calibration by NéMa from the android market.

Once installed...

1. Charge your phone to 100%

2. Without unplugging your phone... open battery calibration

3. You will have to allow root permissions if first time using the app. Make sure the app says your phone is charged to 100% as well. Your voltage should be 4200mV or as close as possible.

4. Click on battery calibration in the middle of the screen.

5. Unplug your phone.

Now your battery stats are fully wiped. To fully create new clean stats follow the next steps.

6. Without charging your phone at all... let it die completely until it shuts off.

7. Plug your phone in and without a break let it charge to 100%

8. Unplug your phone

9. Let your phone die completely until it shuts off.

10. Fully charge your phone to 100% battery again.

11. Unplug your phone.

12. Let your phone die completely until it shuts off (last time)

13. Charge your phone back to 100% again.

CONGRATS! Your battery is fully calibrated!!

Note: it is recommended to do 4 full cycles to completely calibrate your battery but you should notice a difference after the first cycle.

USING CWM

1. Charge your phone to 100% full.

2. Reboot to CWM (recovery)

3. Scroll down using volume keys and choose advanced

4. Choose wipe battery stats

5. Reboot phone.

Now your battery stats are wiped. To fully create new clean battery stats follow steps 6 through 13 above.

As stated this is just a quick guide for reference for anyone having questions regarding calibrating your battery. If I have left anything out feel free to mention and I will add it in asap.

The second is from the Tab forum, but apparently our phones have the same MAX17042 fuel gauge chip which reads open circuit voltage to provide battery stats. As Vlad_z states, deleting the log file does not actually calibrate the battery, this is done automatically with the MAX17042 chip. The 2nd link does give instructions on how to reset / calibrate this chip without a jig.:)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
I have definitely noticed a difference after using the battery calibration app as well as clearing battery stats through CWM.

I did try vlad_z calibration as well. I am still in the process of letting my battery die currently for a comparison. However it has been about 26 hours and I still have 37% battery left with moderate use.

I will be updating the OP to contain Vlad_z procedure as well
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] hechoen:
Nice post. I always just calibrate through cwm when I hit full charge. I never do three complete drains and recharges though. Usually one complete drain one complete charge and then use my phone as normal. Have you really noticed a difference doing four full cycles?

also it step 6. I've found if you power the phone back on after it dies it will truly kill the battery.

Still cool to get over 36 hours of use on this phone. Almost as good as my old dumb phone(which I sorely miss).
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jon.01:
I have 5 batteries for this phone. 2 are 1500mAh and 3 are 1800mAh.

I assume I would have to recalibrate for each battery?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Bassmanjames:
What do you need all that power for? Do you have five devices? I Would think you would calibrate based on which mah you are using since you are only deleting a file on your phone. I.e once for 1500 and only use those batteries.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Vlad_z:
Internal memory of the fuel gauge chip has room for two battery profiles, it cannot hold 5... so, if you are using all 5 then state of charge (soc) reported back to OS level would be pretty much inaccurate.

You can delete batterystats.bin all day long with cwm or apps - this is just as usefull as dancing with rainstick around your phone.

If you absolutely need multiple batteries then stick with same nominal 1500 or 1800. That way fg chip would report average value, granted your batteries should be the same age and health.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] xXxShAmRoCkxXx:
Posts like these are truly helpful, This should be sticked imho. I'm a complete noob to flashing, just performed my first two flashes last night, and it's a job trying to scour through these forums and read through all the posts trying to find the information you are looking for. I did it, and I'm very happy with the results. Damned if I was going to ask a question on these forums. you guys got me scared. hehe.

Anyway thanks, as this was the next piece of info I was hunting for! :)

Hello,

I have three batteries : 2x Original 1560 mAH and 1x 2430 mAH

How to calibrate them with my HTC Sensation ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Juls317:
If you are rooted, you can use the app from the market
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] darkace007:
In charging after fully discharging the phone, do i charge it while it is off or can i charge it while it's on?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Battery calibration by deleting the file is now known to be complete snake oil. Confirmed in the code as well. Deep discharge cycles, along with heat, are enemies of Li ion batteries. While it seemed a very good idea at the time, following this procedure is now known to be only detrimental to battery life, even if it makes people feel good.

Posted from my SGS4G, thanks to Team Acid development
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jigglynuts:
Jeff is correct. Since these instructions the myth about battery calibration has been debunked
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] darkace007:
So whats the proper charging way now? Thanks for the info though! :)
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] eollie:
Keep the phone between 20-85% otherwise heat will destroy the battery. Charge the phone as often as you can and avoid extra heat from charging.

help..

pls help me.after doing battery calibaration?my battery % was 0 only.how am i gonna fix that?even though i charge so many times.it get 0 % only.pls help me fix that problem.tnx
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Necro-rez of a tread that has already stated "don't do this" ain't gonna fix it for you. Why don't you post what your hardware, firmware, and software are in another thread, along with very clearly detailed description of what you did and what happened (with what you expected to happen, if different).

Without that, "Not a bug" "Move along, nothing to see here."
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] adhawk:
after pressing "calibrate" from app and unplug phone from charger, do i have to let the phone discharged without it being disturbed from any battery usage activities e.g. messaging, play games, browsing internet etc? or I can use the phone while it discharges? i hope to not defeat the purpose of calibrating the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
There is no purpose for this kind of "battery calibration" process. It has been thoroughly debunked. It is generally accepted, however, that deep cycling of the batteries shortens their lifespan.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] mr.darkside:
do i need to charge it off, after draining the battery ?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
You should avoid intentionally draining your phone battery. Just use it and charge it when you can. Shallow cycles are better than deep ones for battery life.

[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
To developers out there, I have a small suggestion for an app that might help all of us SGS2 users as well as owners of other phones..

My suggestion is for a very lightweight app that sits in the notification area, and when u tap it, it effectively brings up the default ics task switcher... its function is exactly the same as doing a long press on the home button... but i think this app would save our home buttons!!!!

Any developer willing to take this idea up?
[Galaxy S II General] Schindler33:
Ok. Interesting idea, but I don't think I would take use of this. I would rather reenable the softkeys with the virtual button for the task manager.
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
But re-enabling the soft keys will jus take up screen estate... wasting a whole bar of screen estate for the task manager isnt exactly practical... i feel using the notification area would actually be more practical...
[Galaxy S II General] fr3quency:
+1 I don't think it's so difficult. o_O
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
if i knew how to code at least some bit, i would deconstruction this app from the market and link the app to the task manager:

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.smart.taskswitcher&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5zbWFydC50YXNrc3dpdGNoZXIiXQ..

The earlier version of this app was really very very simple... and does its intended action... maybe someone can modify it to hook into the default ics task manager?
[Galaxy S II General] XpLoDWilD:
It is that hard to press a button?
[Galaxy S II General] mchu6am4:
It's not but you may prolong it's life...?
[Galaxy S II General] rathian:
its not hard to long press a button... but wear and tear will soon dictate u cant use that button anymore... common gripes with iphone user is a spoilt home button... so i'm trying to see if we could minimise the usage of the home button...

Hey guys,

I am actually a sgs2 owner and have one request. Since gingerbread 2.3.6, the touchwiz launcher of the sgs2 really sucks... no alphabetical ordering and not custom default homescreen... However, in the SGS2 section on XDA, one user uploaded the touchwiz30launcher.apk from the epic 4g touch, which also worked perfectly on my sgs2. Sadly, this uploaded version is now not compatible with gingerbrad 2.3.6... which I now use on my sgs2

Therefore, I would kindly ask someone of you to upload the epic 4g touch touchwiz30launcher.apk from gingerbread 2.3.6, so that I can try to run it on my sgs2... You would really do me and some others a big favour.

Drag the .apk to desktop. (must have Android SDK installed and Java6 RE set as a path.

That should install it to system/app. If it does not work, make sure you have a backup TwouchWiz30Launcher.apk that works with your phone.
